If you will not have a valid passport or National ID document with you on test day, you will need to request an Authorisation Letter when you apply for OET. This letter will allow us to verify your identity and allow you to sit OET.

To receive an Authorisation Letter, you’ll need to provide us with three colour copies of certified ID documents. We accept:

Travel documents issued by immigration authorities

Expired passports

Current Working with Children Check cards

Current driver's licences

Medicare or other health insurance cards

At least two of the documents must contain a colour ID photo and include your full name and date of birth. If your ID document is in a language other than English please also send an official translation.

You can request an Authorisation Letter through your myOET profile. On your myOET dashboard:
